Rants, Raves and Revelations

I'm feeling better, only a semi horrible cough remains and it seems someone at least turned down the faucet that my nose has become. I woke up pissed this morning and I thought I'd come and tell you all the reasons why. Joy.

First off, Ketchup hooked up a cell phone and within hours was being picked up by a friend who was willing to drive over a half hour to come get him. The hubby and I were left with a gloriously unexpected night alone which would have been perfect if I hadn't basically been screwed the next day. Ketchup said he would probably be spending the night with his friend again, yay us, not only did it mean another night alone, but a day that I could actually resume the schedule I have so lovingly missed and actually get something done. After the hubby left for work, I took a nap. A quiet uninterrupted nap. I woke up with every intension of getting some shit done, like mopping, something I haven't been given a chance to do in over two months, ugh. Unfortunately I also awoke to a text from the hubby saying Ketchup was on his way home. Got to say I would have done my day differently if I had known this would happen. So expected in the next hour, I hurried around doing what little chores I could, saying "fuck it" to mopping since I wouldn't have enough time. A couple hours later, after the hubby got off work in fact, Ketchup finally showed up. (He had said 3-4 hours, it had been six.) Good to know I could have mopped but blew it off to wait for Ketchup to get home.

More Ketchup: I can't help but stare at the green Bic lighter sitting in front of him right now. (He's sitting on the couch playing Call of Duty 4.) Last night his lighter died and he resorted to using matches for his cigarettes while at work. This green lighter sitting in front of him? Mine actually. It was sitting half buried in a tray next to my side of the couch (wait... I don't have a side anymore...) and now he has it and I bet you a dollar he will never say a word about it.

How about next to the couch? Sitting right next to the couch right in front of a garbage can, he keeps stacking clothes. My cats are going to piss on it eventually so last night I finally got fed up and moved them. This morning? A whole new stack of clothes. And these are work clothes, smelling of food and grease. Is it just me or is that like an engraved invitation to the cats?

Went to take a shower this morning and ended up soaking my pajamas. Why? Ketchup re aimed the showerhead again, even after it was mentioned that it was a problem. Same thing with locking the door, the hubby mentioned that he should lock the deadbolt, not the doorknob because that's all he has a key to and it still hasn't made a difference. Ketchup needs to learn that what he does affects other people. I guess part of the problem here would be the hubby. He picks the most non chalant way to say something to Ketchup, and that's if he says anything at all. I keep using the word "disregarded" with the hubby but it doesn't seem to have much impact anymore.

Oh well. That's what it always seems to add up to. I'm wrong. Again.

Enough with Ketchup, on to Tall. I don't think it has actually happened yet but Tall and Sassy still seem to be moving back to their parent's house. Tall hasn't been around much, better things to do and all and except for the other night we haven't seen or heard from Sassy at all. Out of nowhere the other night Tall texted and asked if he and Sassy could come hang out. Blink. Didn't they break up? What the fuck ever, sure, come over. Except for the fact that they are moving to different places nothing seems to have changed. However I do kind of wonder if the reason it took Tall days to stop by was because Sassy wouldn't let him come over without her. Again, nothing has changed, has it?

I am still trying to figure out if Tall when out of his way to offend me or not. I told him (because I am so friggin' proud of myself) that I beat Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. He responded with basically that the campaign mode is stupid (along with the 360 gamerscore, which mine is three times his) and multiplayer is all that's worth it. Is that why he has been playing campaign mode the past few days? Is that why he's added over a hundred points to his score? Why'd he have to belittle my achievements? To make himself feel good? Yesterday he wouldn't even accept a game invite I sent him, even though he was already playing the same game. Instead he ignored me and then a while later signed off. Jokes on him though, my multiplayer rank in Call of Duty 4 is higher then his too. I bet he'll find a way to make me feel bad about that too.

Moving on, in an attempt to turn around the way this day is already making me feel... XBox Live has been a great way to meet people from all over the world. Last night the hubby and I were playing a game of Uno with someone from Texas, Tennessee and one from Scotland. It's awesome. I actually just friend requested (on MySpace) the chick from Tennessee, she's just great. The guy from Texas is someone we have been chatting and playing with for a couple weeks now. He's only fourteen but you wouldn't be able to tell by listening to him. I tell ya, it's proof that maturity is not about age.

On a final note, my dear doppelganger, my desire for a friend on my side led me to think about you this morning. The idea of drinking, giggling and chatting until the wee hours of the morning seems blissful. My friend in the dark, you give me light. You have become a part of my heart and I thank you for it.
